Real World Brooklyn: Cage Dances and Furniture Flipping

Welcome back to the Real World Brooklyn. Today begins with a bummer. Katelynn's bank account is overdrawn again. Volunteer work is great and all, she tells us, but she's post-op. She needs cash. Sarah's advice is to "hug it out". "Hug it out?" Katelynn asks her, confused. What, no Entourage in cow country?

The ears are gonna have to wait.

Well, something tells me we'll be returning to this drama at some point, but for now we tag along with Scotty for some more modeling pictures! Today's high profile photographer is a chubby bearded guy who calls Scotty "man pretty". And they put makeup on him for some of the pics. Really pretty! Scotty kind of seems like he knows what he's doing. But I reserve final judgment until I see the contact sheets.

Uh oh K. Competition.

Back at the house, Katelynn and Scotty are giving each other massages and talking about how much they love each other and their friendship. That means it's doomed. And then the postman comes! It's an official invite to watch the MTV movie Pedro. I know it's serious, and I'm sorry to be wrong, but for some reason, I start thinking Pedro! The Musical might have been an entertaining way to go.

Surprise, surprise, JD, this season's gay, Cuban guy from Miami identifies with Pedro. Perhaps he was cast for this reason. They go to the screening, and some MTV lady gets up in front of the group and very self-importantly tells the group a little bit about what a pioneer Pedro was and a lot about what a pioneer MTV was for putting him on television.

Then they watch the movie. Everyone's moved and sad. Then we meet Pete, an MTV suit in a suit and a baseball cap. That means he's just gotten hair transplants. It's the lamest look ever. Shave your head and be proud, Pete. "What's your reaction?" he asks them smugly. The girls giggle and talk about needing a tissue box.

Let's focus on this season's tragedy.

But there are interesting reactions. Ryan points out that where he's from, HIV is just a big city problem. And JD thinks that it's perfect timing for the film, because people are starting to think it's okay to have unprotected sex. I think he's totally right and it's pretty scary. But enough of the message, Pete wants the roomies to throw a screening!

Pete decrees that there should be two hosts for the screening. Chet immediately leaps at the opportunity. And then he tells us about it in an interview he's done in a black vest, again with nothing under it. It doesn't have the same shock factor as the lavender naked vest look, but I am shocked that he'd duplicate the look. Did he really think it was so successful the first time?

But forget about the wardrobe for a second, Chet's got bigger problems. Well, I still think the naked vest look is his biggest problem, but he's all upset because the roomies don't want him to be the host! What? Are they serious? Don't they know that's what Chet does? He is a host! The host! He's hosted web videos on unknown bands! What do they want, some amateur?

Well, they don't want Chet because he's never had sex. See, virginity really is good for nothing. Chet thinks it's nonsense, but he's an island. That's right, even his boyfriend Ryan thinks he's the wrong dude for the job. So Chet bitches about it all the way home, and then goes down to the gym to sulk about it.

Dear diary, I lost my CHET hat and am now going to kill myself.

Luckily, he has a sweet and caring boyfriend in Ryan, who comes downstairs to find out what's wrong with Chet. Chet whines like a little a bitch, and Ryan tells him he's being overly sensitive and it's about the movie's message, not their careers. "I know it's about the message! But all of you telling at me 'You can't do this, Chet' was really offensive to me!" Chet yells back, showing a very clear understanding of the whole message thing.

Back upstairs, the planning session is in progress. Ryan is presiding in the enormous cowboy hat, which makes it the best Real World meeting ever, in my eyes. The battle over who gets to be the host continues, and actually, we were so busy listening to Chet cry about it, I didn't even realize that the two other people who wanted to do it were Katelynn and JD.

NotWithoutMyTV:

It's too bad that Katelynn missed that whole she-male craze by like, two years. She could have had a mansion and a yacht!

I've decided that my "gender identity" really needs some validation. I think maybe I'll post some full frontal nude videos to YouTube.

NotWithoutMyTV:

ZOMG! Without money for medical supplies, Katelynn's do-it-yourself vag would totally close, wouldn't it?

Talk about bad for your "gender identity".

Lady_Ace:

CB, your recaps are SO much better than the actual show!

I hate you Chet!

Lady_Ace:

I think Real World was only actually entertaining when they stacked the cast with sluts and alcoholics. WTF mtv??

loves2play05:

hmm. Since when did Katelynn's gay boyfriend (no pun intended-hah!) come back into the pic? Didn't they stop talking in the second episode?

LastCall:

Scott is kind of whiny and he's also a control freak, but since he gives money to girls with big ears and shoulders, I can't help but like him. I have a funny feeling that 1500 bucks will become an issue between Katelynn abd Scott later though.

BTW the pictures from that photoshoot are posted on Scott's website. Personally I don't think he has the right kind of face for that heavily made up look. Scotty, try to always remember: ladies pinch their cheeks...WHORES wear rouge!

slutty_whore:

I'm sorry, but I doubt I would be interested in a Pedro movie. His story is so 1995 or whatever and, quite frankly, people by now should know how to use a condom and have protected sex. The people who this movie would appeal to already know this information and Pedro, unfortunately, is no longer relevant.

I know I will get a lot of shit for this, but he and Puck were flip sides of the same coin.... they both upped the dramatic ante and annoyed one another and neither took the time to calm the drama in the house (Puck being selfish, Pedro loving to be the center of attention.)If Pedro wasn't sick, the fans would have just chalked him up to another whiny gay Real Worlder.... (sadly, I can list them all). And we would have chalked Puck up to simply being a dirty asshole.

And, regarding Scott and Katelynn.... $1500 is too much to borrow from a roommate. I agree with the person who said this will cause trouble for them in the future. Scott will never get paid back.

hollagirl2:

slutty_whore--- wowow. pedro's story will only become irrelevant when there are cures for not only AIDS, but all other sexually transmitted diseases as well. Whether you could couldn't care less about Pedro's case, or death.... there were/are many others still affected by the disease and I don't think they consider their lives or the importance of safe sex irrelevant.

Thatswhatshesaid:

I haven't even read the recap yet, but HOW GREAT IS IT that The Duel II starts April 8th?! I was riveted watching the trailer!
And now on to the recap! This ep for me was ho-hum, but I'm sure the recap will more than make up for it.

thatswhatshesaid:

Yep, the recap was better than the episode. This show was so boring. I sort of liked Pedro on his season, but I wouldn't be interested in seeing a movie about his life. I think it's another way for MTV to make money & get people to watch their movies.
I agree that the leading character was a mistake. Who WAS that guy? Even JD would have been better in the role. Weird.
And loves2play05, I too wondered when Katelynn's boyfriend decided to come back into the picture. Scotty's $$ was supposed to carry Katelynn for one month so are we to assume this is their last month of being in the house? Timeline?!
